Not My Cup of Tea

Hags was fun! I really enjoyed the first half of the show and found that the performances were great. I get the feeling that these performers have been working together for a while, and their energy is the highlight of the show.

I checked out of the end around where the projections started. I think the story could have come to a nice end there, but it started to drag, relying on references and gimmicks to propel the story.

The show would have really benefitted from the work of an emerging/student designer, especially re. lights and audio. The technical design felt very rushed and it took me out of the show. There were some great opportunities for a rich design on this show that didn't manifest, giving the show that 'community theatre' feel.

I think this show is perfect for a middle-aged and older crowd that loves character work. I would happily see another show by these creators.
